Peel the onion and cut into small cubes that are about 1/4 inch thick. Do the same with the peppers and cut them into small cubes. Set them to the side for later.

Take the chicken and remove any excess fat the thighs may have. Add the chicken to a bowl and add the adobo, sazon, chicken bouillon, oregano, and garlic paste. Mix until all the chicken is seasoned.

In a medium-sized pan, add the oil over high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 12 minutes. Flip the chicken a couple of times to brown evenly.

Reduce your heat to medium-high. Make space in the middle and add the vegetables, sofrito, and tomato sauce. Stir and finish cooking covered for 8 minutes.
